Which of the following statements about the EVPN data plane is FALSE?
D
Explanation:
EVPN-MPLS provides services over an MPLS network, not a simple IP network.
The customer data is
encapsulated with an MPLS label that identifies the service and then tunneled between the PE
routers using MPLS LSPs1

Based upon the exhibit, how many MAC-VRFs are there?
B
Explanation:
There are two MAC-VRFs in the exhibit, one for each EVI.
A MAC-VRF is a logical entity that contains
the MAC forwarding information for a given EVI1

Which of the following statements about multi-homing for a Layer-2 service is TRUE?
C
Explanation:
In the all-active mode, all PEs attached to a CE can forward traffic to and from the CE. This provides
load balancing and redundancy for the CE.
The CE does not require a LAG to be configured between
the CE and all attached PEs1

Which of the following statements about PE-to-PE MAC address advertisement is FALSE?
B
Explanation:
Route targets are not used to uniquely identify routes between EVIs in the case of MAC address
overlaps. Route targets are used to control the import and export of routes between different EVIs or
VRFs.
The service distinguisher (label or VNI) is used to uniquely identify each service1

Which of the following statements about EVPN Layer-3 services that utilize the interface-ful model is
TRUE?
C
Explanation:
In the interface-ful model, VPRN instances are interconnected using a supplementary broadcast
domain (SBD) VPLS. Intra-subnet traffic is carried over the tunnels provided by the SBD VPLS.
The
MAC/IP routing information is not used to populate the VPRN routing table at the remote PEs, but
rather to populate the FDB of the SBD VPLS2

Based upon the exhibit,
which of the following statements about the forwarding of BUM traffic is FALSE?
B
Explanation:
PE3 does not add an ESI label to packets forwarded to PE1 because PE1 is connected to the same
Ethernet segment.
PE3 adds an ESI label only to packets forwarded to PEs that are not connected to
the same Ethernet segment, such as PE21
.

In the exhibit,
MACI moves from PEI to PE2. Which of the following actions related to this MAC address mobility is
performed?
C
Explanation:
PE2 advertises a MAC/IP route for MAC1 with a sequence number higher than that received from
PE1. This indicates that MAC1 has moved from PE1 to PE2 and triggers a MAC withdrawal message
from PE1 to remote PEs.
CE1 does not generate an update message to PE1 withdrawing its MAC, nor
does PE1 generate an update message to remote PEs identifying the new location of CE11

What are EVPN inclusive multicast Ethernet tag (IMET) routes used for?
C
Explanation:
EVPN inclusive multicast Ethernet tag (IMET) routes are used to discover all PEs participating in the
same VPIS service. These routes are also used to build the flooding list for BUM traffic.
Based on the exhibit below, which of the following statements is FALSE?
When forwarding BUM traffic, the local PE must replicate the traffic and send it as unicast to the
advertising neighbor.
A
Explanation:
When forwarding BUM traffic, the local PE does not replicate the traffic and send it as unicast to the
advertising neighbor. Instead, the local PE uses an MPLS transport tunnel towards the advertising
neighbor and sends the traffic with an MPLS label that indicates the service.
Based on the exhibit below, which of the following statements is TRUE?
B
Explanation:
PE1 uses this BGP update to build the flooding list of the associated service. The update contains an
IMET route that indicates that neighbor 10.10.10.2 is participating in a VPLS service with a network
identifier of 10.
Based upon the exhibit, which of the following statements is FALSE?
D
Explanation:
PE1 does not use VXLAN tunnels to reach neighbors 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.3. PE1 uses MPLS
tunnels to reach these neighbors, as indicated by the MPLS label values in the output.
None
C
Explanation:
When the PE learns a local host IP address, it does not add an entry into its proxy-ARP table. The
proxy-ARP table is populated by snooping IP packets received from remote PEs. The PE advertises a
MAC/IP route that includes the MAC and IP address of a local host.
Based upon the exhibit, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A
Explanation:
VPLS 10 does not need to be configured with two BGP instances on PE3 and PE4. VPLS 10 can be
configured with a single BGP instance that supports both VXLAN and MPLS encapsulations.
Which of the following statements about an EVPN with integrated routing and bridging (EVPN-IRB)
service is FALSE?
A
Explanation:
EVPN with integrated routing and bridging (EVPN-IRB) service does not require the use of EVPN-
MPLS for data plane. EVPN-IRB service can use either EVPN-MPLS or EVPN-VXLAN for data plane.
Which of the following statements does NOT describe the operation of the Layer-3 EVPN asymmetric
forwarding model?
A
Explanation:
All VPLS instances do not need to be configured on all PEs regardless of whether they have a local
host or not. Only the VPRN instance needs to be configured on all PEs, while the VPLS instances are
configured only on PEs that have a local host attached to them.
